How do you like it. I picked it up at the local fun shop and it felt pretty good, the only negative that I picked up was the mag is pretty loose in the mag well. What are your thoughts. Looks so fun though.

Looks so fun though. I haven't had any feeding or functioning problems with mine. The only problem I have with the mags are the prices. I bought a fiver for hunting and I'm going to try it out today. ![]() |

Very nice job on the side sling attachments!!!
![]() Where did you get the rear attachment at? Also, do you have a better picture of wat you did for the front sling swivel? |

That is off an H&K G3.
http://www.robertrtg.com/g3woodbuttstock.html I used the rear sling swivel off a M1903 Springfield for the front sling mount... I mounted it to the side and it was a little tricky to get it inlet good. ![]() I wanted something very strong that would work well when carrying it on my back... |

Seabees can do! I have been looking for one of those things for a few years. Going to order two!

I can't be the only one with a stainless GSR, can I? No pictures in the wild just yet... http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc388/double_r76/GSR1.jpg http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc388/double_r76/GSR2.jpg Details, we need them. |
|
May be a dumb question, but do these rifles take M14 magazines?
|
|
They use Accuracy International "AI" pattern magazines. AI mags generally have less variation in tolerances from mfg to mfg and tend to function more reliably than M14 mags and all their legions of fabricators.

Lgunsmoker: do the irons work with the suppressor on? I'm thinking seriously about adding a can to mine. I have a subsonic load with a 220 grain cast bullet that shoots very well in my GSR. http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/Pathfinder/gsrscoutingtreebetter.jpg http://www.myhostedpics.com/images/Pathfinder/magingsr.jpg I'm now using the new polymer mags. http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k542/WhitSpurzon/004.jpg Iron sights should work fine with a suppressor. Here is mine with a 1.5" diameter suppressor which most 308 suppressors seem to be anyway. Plenty of clearnace with the front sight post. You don't really even notice the suppressor when looking through the sights. Be sure to have your threads check out when you get a suppressor. My threads were concentric but the threads did not go all the way to the shoulder so my suppressor did not seat squarely. My local gunsmith machined in a relief and all is good to go now. A suppressor that mounts on a flash hider probably would have been fine if a crush washer was used. Hope that helps. ![]() ![]() |

I read an article in Field and Stream that the rifle liked only specific loads and wasn't accurate past 200 yards. What have your experiences been with loadings, accuracy and distance.
I've been thinking about one for a truck rifle. Currently have a Ishapore Carbine as my truck rifle but not happy with grouping and accuracy at 300 yards with iron sights. |

Got a link to the article..? I have found it very accurate out to 200 but have not yet shot it past that... |

Page 2. Shoots very well - only 40 rounds through it last Sunday to get the red dot squared away, then play. Taking it back out today for more. Still waiting for ShopRuger to get it together and ship my poly mags. http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/rgrhartley/100_0168.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/rgrhartley/100_0175.jpg Keep us posted on how that PA red dot holds up. I've been considering a Vortex or Aimpoint for mine, but the PA may be a viable option |

Ralph: Hunt details please! Nice! Picked up the rifle on a monday (Christmas present from my girlfriend). I didn't get a chance to take it back home till last Sunday. Sighted it in that morning and went with my dad to hunt at my uncles ranch. It was raining and I was a little skeptical that I would get a chance to get my first kill with it. It was getting a little late in the afternoon and with the rain I was debating weather or not I would even kill something given the chance since I would have to skin it in the rain then drive an hour and a half back home and work at 6 the next morning. All my debating went out the window when the doe stepped out at 105yds. I was really excited to shoot my first deer with open sights and I made a great shot. She only ran about 25 yds. |

^^ Even though you're just experimenting with that setup and not planning on keeping the scope, some low rings will go a long way for your hunt and will help you decide more accurately if you like the scout configuration or not.

Nice set up! I am going with a 2-12 scope. I am just waiting on the rings from Ruger...they are backordered. |

Very nice. A Leupold VX-R almost ended up on mine, but I wanted to give the ballistic 7.62 reticle a go.
